kUOHAEsPONDENU MRS. JULIA R. ANDERSON.

It is fitting that something besides q
 mere note of the event be said of the de- cease of person like Mrs. Anderson. She
 was born in Stafford, the daughter of Na-
 than and Hannah Rockwell, and was wld- ow of Jacob Anderson. Her early life
 was spent in Stafford and Willington. Be- coming widow in early life, with four small children, she at once set about pro- viding for herself and family, shortly af- forwards removing to Monson and en- gazing in business. There the remainder of her life has been passed. In her busi- ness relations she was brought in contact with many people, and endeared herself to very many, making hosts of warm, true friends, who were always made welcome and happy at her pleasant home. Her mo- ble heart always went out ill sympathy and love for the poor and needy, as many one could testify; and those ill sorrow and affiiction always found in her friend with words of sympathy and true affection. She always took great interest in the wei fare and prosperity of her native town, and ever chung with great tenacity to old friends and associations connected. It will be remembered when Stafford was visited by flood i'll TT she generously re- sponded with substantial things of this world, thus making many hearts lighter under the heavy cloud then hanging over the town. For several years she has been gradually failing, being for some months confined to her bed, her life terminating on Monday of last week, she being buried Ion Thursday In the Street cemetery, where her kindred lay, as also many of her form ew associates and fkiendHs

 | There were no special arrangements for the celebration of the Fourth, but the patriotism of young America found expres- sion in the discharge of small cannon, fire crackers, and torpedoes, to the disgust of nervous ladies and equally nervous horses. Master Samuel Fitch, who was spending the 4th with his uncle, Wm. Newman, was examining the modess operandi of how a fire cracker went off when 1t exploded and filled his eyes with powder. Dr.. Clark was summoned and worked an hour or more removing the powder from his eyes and face. The doctor thinks that he will not lose the sight, but 1t was pretty narrow chance for him. A"family picnic was held at Mir. and Mrs. John M Steele's, their pa rents and their neighbors, Root and John son had pleasant time. In thes evening 8 good display of fireworks was made at The Street. The collection procured by subscription was augmented bpa quantity brought on by some of the summer board CTS. It took over an hour to discharge them, and that without any waits. The ladies of the Congregational church dis pensed ice cream at their parlors before and after the fireworks to 8 large number.
 The Gun club had another shoot on the 4th, at which Master George Sterry carried off the honors of the best score, 1. 4.

STAFFORD.
Under the new time table trains going south on the N. L. N. road leave:

The quiet proceeding the fourth, which the law passed in 1885 has since secured, was notably absent this year. All day Sunday firing was heard in the borough, and Sunday evening the most outrageous disregard of law and decency prevailed, worst of all there seemed to be no effort to stop the disgraceful proceedings and the violation increased as it became evident tdat free license was to be given. One place, for the sale of fire works, was open all day Sunday and during the night, the same place in fact is open every Sunday, and public sentiment says that this thing is going too far.
 Mir. Editor The suggestion made by your correspondent, to select the best men presented by different caucuses, looks very well to men who don't know any ything about the present plan of caucuses, because both republicans and democrats wait until the last minute before holding their eau cuses, for what reason know not unless they don't want people shall know who they put up. Then again your correspon- dent in answering T. G. Hodgson had to come back on the prohibition party for putting up straight ticket, and claiming him as representing the prohibitionists. - T. G. Hodgson when he wrote suggesting citizens ticket did 1t on his own respon- sibility. Now say if the republicans and democrats are not afraid to let the voters know who they have nominated, let them hold their caucus one week before election and let us see who they have got up and that will give the voters chanc6to choose the best men from all parties. Now the prohibitionists will nominate a full ticket this fall for town officers. Our motto is {: The liquor traffic is wrong ndgonght ito be abolished, the liquor traffic is wrong and shall be abolished. Abraham Lineolns sand Nothing is settled till it is settled right" Yours,

A Good Suggestion.

We were very much pleased yesterday
to find in the Inde1-AppedI the following
owe have nothing but gratitude and as
surances Of reciprocal good feeling toward
many contemporaries for the compliment
tary references to the Inder-AppeGPS re-
cent change OF type, and hence we mean no
rudeness to them when we rise TO propose
an abolition OF q custom which helps TO
make Airginla journalism provincial.
There il no more reason why there should
be O waste OF valuable space in cOngratu-
laing paper on laying aside a worn.Out
outfit OF type than there is for expressing
surprise when the editor pits on clean
shirt"
We commend the above paragraph to the
attention Of our contemporaries OF the Viz
ginia press. Nobody owes more to the local
papers than we do for cOmmendatOry no.
tees; and nobody prizes these more than
we. Nevertheless, we are willing to come
TO an understanding once for all that the
"proyinclaI" habit spoken OF by our Pc
tersburg contemporary shall be consigned
to the abode OF the moles and the bats.
Nobody expects an editor to say OF his bro.
Their editor that bis paper is not worth
reading, nor that his editorials are slipshod
and trashy, nor that he steals whole columns
Of matter. nor that he converts news item.
into editorial paragraphs, nor that he uses
miseraby.poor paper. Whatever Il said
must be said by way OF compliment. Aud
yet these notices, as the Inder-ApPeGI says,
are accounted evidences Of proyinclali'm.
Some Of our religious contemporaries
manifest their proyncialism By record
ing all the movements and sayings and do
ings OF the clergy. But We turn them over
to DR.. LAFFERTY.

The Tobacco Tax. Again.

The demand for the repeal Of the tax on
tobacco Is growing and spreading every
day. A few days ago we quoted New
England argument for repeal. Here is one
from Louisiana. The New Orleans Plea
ptne says:
'It looks probable that at the present
session Congress will abolish the internal
revenue tax on tobacco. This will prove A
measure OF relief to the toblcco-growing
industry Of the country and largely bene-
fit the South It will be a step in the right
direction, the sweeping away OF the IN
democratic system OF internal revenue that
crew out Of the war, besides reducing the
income Of the Government and preventing
AZ augmentation Of the surplus in the
Treasury"
Indeed, it may be said that in one sense
the question Of abolishing the tobacco-tax
has become national issue with the ma
iorlty OF the papers and OF the people on
the side Of abolition.

The Atlanta Journal, in discussing ma
tional banks, says:
"1he people will, in our judgment,
never consent 10 private bank.note issue.
II would be taking a step backward, aud
introducing into our financial system an ele-
merit which would eliminate all io.favOra-
bic features and introduce some most dele
terious ones. such a policy would be a
radically destructive one, and the conser-
yatiye sense OF the country will not fail to
nut its foot upon it whenever and wherever
shown"
We think the Journal judges the people
correctly. II might as we'll be recognized
now as later that the people Will never con-
sent to give up the best currency we have
ever had and one that has the same value in
every State in the Union for a currency
that might have a dozen different values in
dozen different States. The average man
may understand but little OF the great prin-
ciples Of banking and fnanciering, but he
does know that II he holds national-banS
